Photographer Sue Heinemann remembers
traveling to Israel with the postmodern dance legend Anna Halprin in the fall
of 2014: “There she completed her trilogy Remembering
Lawrence, honoring her late husband, who helped found an early kibbutz and
designed several Jerusalem landmarks. Anna led over a hundred Jewish, Muslim,
Christian, and Druze women on a silent peace walk along the Goldman Promenade,
designed by Larry, situated between East and West Jerusalem.”
